SECOND OIL LEAK DISCOVERED; 
Two Additional Plumes Found Floating 3,400 Under Water

Yes, a second oil leak has been hiding from Americans since at least April 30 and, as this post is being written, those involved are still stonewalling the news. Recent satellite photos show oil around the Ocean Saratoga Rig, operated by Diamond Offshore for Taylor Energy. Taylor has reportedly instructed Diamond Offshore to “plug and abandon” the well. The rig was damaged by a hurricane in 2004 and Diamond Offshore was told in 2009 to plug the well according to “sources.” This would seem to indicate that the well could have been leaking for over a year and Taylor Energy is not talking.

In the meanwhile, it has been discovered that pools of oil are gathering underseas at about 3,400 feet and this discovery leads to the probability that marine life will ultimately be extensively damaged. It appears that BP has known of this for “some time” but did not disclose the fact until they were recently asked in a press conference about the possibility.

President Obama, now faced with a multitude of festering problems which include Middle East tensions in and around Israel as well as belligerent rhetoric from North Korea and Iran, has decided to take to the road and try to gain support for his cram down health care bill.

Don’t you just wonder who in the hell is running this country while Obama ignores these issues?
